This Weeks Questions:

1. What is your favorite part of Fall?:
UMM......EVERYTHING!!!! The smells, the sights, the cooler air, the colorful changing leaves, the leaves falling, the state fair coming to town! I love Halloween, Thanksgiving and my sweet nieces birthday!! Fall in the country in Mississippi is UH-MAZ-ING!! Football!! ANYTHING PUMPKIN, SQUASH, or ZUCCHINI! And pretty much any soup, stew or chili! HOODIES!!!

2. Do you have anything special planned for Fall?:
Well, sadly the first thing we will do is have a special family day on October 1st to honor the memory of my sister Leslie, who was killed by a drunk driver in 2012. We will visit the cemetery, put out some pretty Fall flowers, then have a quiet family dinner. Of course, I have a split family, so I will have to decide if I will do Thanksgiving with my Momma or my Daddy, then decide from there about Christmas. For Halloween, I might spend it with my niece or I might just stay home with my youngest sister. And of course, I'll be partying with my niece as she turns 9 (OMG Y'ALL!!!) in November!

3. What is Fall like in your area?:
Lots of changing leaves, state & county fairs & festivals galore, slightly cooler (think: light sweater & cardigan) weather, cotton, corn & pumpkins as far as the eye can see, scare crows, hay rides; gotta love the country life!!

4. What is your favorite Football team to cheer for(college or professional)?:
College: Mississippi State HAIL STATE!!
